U.S backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says all aid distribution sites are closed
DUBAI, June 6 (Reuters) - The U.S backed-Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said on Friday that all its aid distribution sites in the enclave were closed and a reopening date would be announced later, urging residents to stay away from these sites "for their safety". Work at the sites was halted in response to a series of deadly shootings close to the operations. The group, which has been fiercely criticised by humanitarian organisations, including the United Nations, began distributing aid last week.

Llinos Medi MP presses Government on Gaza healthcare system
Ms Medi, of Plaid Cymru, has also signed a cross-party letter calling for an inquiry into the UK's involvement in Israel's military assault in Gaza. At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday (June 4), Keir Starmer labelled matters in Gaza "appalling and intolerable", and reiterated calls for a ceasefire. Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, Ms Medi said: 'We can all see that a genocide is happening in Gaza. It is time the Government called this for what it is. 'We are witnessing the systematic dismantling of Gaza's healthcare system, with Israel recently destroying the only kidney dialysis facility in northern Gaza. 'What is the Government doing to prevent Gaza's healthcare system from being decimated further and to re-establish hospitals and lifesaving medical services?' In response to Ms Medi's comments, the minister for the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, said: 'While the blockade remains in place, there is very little that any outside partner can do to try and ensure proper health services in Gaza. 'I will not mislead the house by suggesting otherwise. 'The aid that has come in from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is far too little and far too geographically concentrated to be able to provide the kind of provision that Gazans are entitled to and that they should have, and is a clear necessity under International Humanitarian Law.'

No end to suffering in Gaza as Israeli airstrikes continue
Israel's decision to take control of aid distribution in Gaza has already resulted in two mass casualty events in the past few days. While two of the sites operated by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reopened today – apparently without incident – a new twist: Benjamin Netanyahu's admission that Israel authorised the arming of a criminal gang inside Gaza to bolster opposition to Hamas. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes killed scores more across the Strip. A warning, this report contains distressing images from the start. Produced by: Freddie Gower and Yousef Hammash Editor: Paul Binge
